Summer in UK. Enjoy the week!

Few snags, some steak and some lamb chops make the perfect bbq

Snags is all you need for the perfect Q, Willy


Lovely Lady from Leipzig in the GDR rocked up in ein Volkswagen Tiguan at the weekend. She gave my teutonic chariot the thumbs up and said she regretted selling her E-Klasse



She had got lost and was late as the sun dipped, so she was lucky to catch the butcher birds before their curfew.



I laid on a toasty spread of charred chicken breast with Teriyaki and Ocker-wurst.



The snags were the hands down winners as always, although she was wary of this merkin mustard as she only trusts the good stuff from the fatherland



Dialled up the ambience with the aid of my leafblower to get the flames roaring on a cold July evening



Her shoes were staying on it looked like, despite my subtly suggestive toe-waggling, but she had lots of interesting stories about life behind the iron curtain growing up. I did not know they had to learn Russian in school.



But by the close of business I was left with my wilting wurst in my hand as she has kids and was babysitting a monster malamute, so she bid me der Abschiedsgruß

Would be a rare collector flag since the country has not existed since 1990...

Q is more than just snags, but snags are what all Aussies first learn to Q. love them.

She has a point about American “mustard” (sorry, had to include air quotes because it’s just not) vs German mustard or even French mustards.

Speaking of using a leaf blower, (and btw that’s a bodgy job, and I’d except nothing less from you) my brother loaned my a BBQ heat blower and gosh does this bad boy blast out some hot air! I’ll get pick and video once I’m back in Milbin again.

She has a point about American “mustard”

I bought some English mustard for my covid broth and it is way too insanely hot to put near a snag. It tastes like wasabi.

I like French and German mustards as curiosities on sandwiches but the merkin mustard is so yummy on snags and dogs.

Speaking of using a leaf blower, (and btw that’s a bodgy job

Blatant bodginess abounds on my BBQ balcony. I did not know you could get a hot air BBQ blower. But a cold air leaf-blower gets the fire roaring in seconds so I am not sure what a hot air blower would add.

Aussies make even better mustard than English.

That shit will get right up yer beak.

They do have 2 milder variations for women and children though.




The chick at our local walking street night market uses a hairdryer at her BBQ pork stall.

[kingwilly]

It will start the fire for you!

Waygu beef burgers on the grill.



Hydration.

Not gonna work, Willy.

My cue for lighting the Q is the noise of the car coming along the driveway.

That blower-doofer is gonna take 5 minutes at least. Whereas, I am normally in a critical conflagration situation.

I have learned not to use turps as an accelerant. It creates a diesel-esque bilious and noxious odour for 5 or 10 minutes after light-up. Methylated spirits is the go for an odour free flame-up.

I learned my lesson after a nice Nigerian lady left my Q within 10 minutes of arriving about 4 or 5 years ago due to finding the pestilent fumes most foul with her hyper nasal sensitivity. We had spent time at the beach together prior and got along well so it was not my lusty amorous advances and glances that sent her fleeing for her car (or maybe it was a bit of both).

I have not had coleslaw in many's the long donkey. Shopping listed.

Done and done with a Joe90-special yellow sticker to boot, in honour of his timely Proustian post (the scent of the slaw sent me back years).

$1.16 off both tubs. That is $2.32 right there!

[NamPikToot]

fuk me you Aussies are wankers, that is daylight lobberly

[kingwilly]

It’s AUD, not real dollars. That’s probably only 90p. But the truth is Australia has gotten real expensive lately.

[kingwilly]

Surf and turf on the Q

[bsnub]

Damn fine spread. The fish and crab showed up as attached thumbnails for some reason.

[kingwilly]

Yeah, TD gremlins at work again. Blue swimmer crabs and barramundi fish.

[BLD]

I've never had crabs on a bbq grill.always boiled em how do they go? Back from my Lao sojourn and strapped on the feedbag way to much. Will post up once I fix my home puter. My sons ordered the parts. He's the i.t guy in the family

[BLD]

Or mussels on a grill
Love mussels .but in a broth .they are currently about $8.00 a kg for blackshell more tasty than greenlip imho

[kingwilly]

They went into a garlic lemon sauce that was the dogs bollocks. I don’t usually grill that stuff either but wanted to try it out to see if it added a smoky flavour. Honestly, it was a lot of messing around. Next time we’ll grill the steaks and fish, boil/steam the others.

[kingwilly]

Since the Wobblies beat the Boks it was my civic duty to celebrate in an Aussie style…

^That is a curiously low heat, Willy, but I guess they are quite fat prawns and need time to cook

The small pic looks more appetising



Did you slice them up the back to gut them or to speed up cooking time?


I was on the job myself this arvo. A lovely lady in a Ford Falcon alighted on my balcony in search of a feast with only half an hours warning that she was coming



I was happy to oblige with my citrus starter



I offered her tea or lemon but she said she had brought some wine so I had my arm twisted



The snags were on point which is more than can be said for my photography skills



I broke out the BBQ bellows, of which Willy does not approve, but when you want to get the flaming ambience up to 9 in a hurry sometimes needs must



She let me hold her hand by the fire and I got the vibration that her heart may be willing, but she arises at 4.30am for a 6am start so a sunrise schedule scuppered my sordid and depraved plans and fate stole her away leaving me gazing into the fading embers of what might have been with my cold and wrinkled snag wilting and dripping ketchup in the fading light.

my cold and wrinkled snag

sheer poetry, Onya

^That is a curiously low heat,

It was hot.

Same crays turned over to cook both sides.

Did you slice them up the back to gut them or to speed up cooking time?

A bit of both as nobody wants to eat the poop shoot. And the open flesh allows the coals to add just a little char to the cook.

You can purchase an electric coal starter for about $30 in Bunnings. Some one cost me $100 AUD here.
